Twin Peaks

It is said that every city has a place to enjoy the night view of the city. In San Francisco, it should be Twin Peaks. We drove up along the winding mountain road and parked the car in a small parking lot on the top of the mountain. There is nothing particularly interesting here, just two mountains connected together. You can see the undulating terrain of San Francisco and the beautiful sunset.

If you want to find the best place to see the entire San Francisco Bay Area, you must come to Twin Peaks.

These are two hills with an altitude of about 270 meters. From the top of the hill, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the city of San Francisco.

The hill was bustling with tourists, enjoying the view. I saw the entire San Francisco Bay area stretched out before my eyes. Aside from a few tall buildings in Union Square and near Fisherman's Wharf, the rest was mostly low-rise buildings.

When it comes to views from a high place, the observation deck at Twin Peaks is the best.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the entire downtown. So what if there are only so few tall buildings here?

It seems that Westerners have never cared about it. From an architectural point of view, buildings with more than 8 floors are actually quite uneconomical in both construction and use.

The surrounding area is a bit plain, but the view is wide, which I like.

Along the hillside is probably the widest road in the entire downtown.

You can see the CBD cluster at a glance, the only tall buildings, and the clock tower at the end. Yes, it is the location of one of the scenes in "Ant-Man 2".

If you go there in April, you really need to wear more clothes. I clearly remember staying in the car to keep warm, then running out to take pictures, and then immediately running back to the car to keep warm. I went to take pictures in the morning and the scenery was very impressive. When I went there, someone was taking wedding photos. Now that I bought the A7R3 and got into photography, I regret missing out on so many beautiful views.

A good place to overlook San Francisco, similar to the Griffith Observatory overlooking Los Angeles, but in comparison, the Griffith Observatory is better. Not only can you overlook it, the observatory itself is also worth visiting. Twin Peaks is just a bird's-eye view.

It is easy to park on the mountain, and there is also a public toilet, which is fully automatic. The toilet will be cleaned automatically after use, including the toilet bowl and the toilet seat. The hand washing will also be done with hand soap, water, and hot air in sequence, without any operation required by yourself; however, you are only allowed to stay in the toilet for 20 minutes, and the door will be forced to open after the time limit (the warning light will flash two minutes before the door is forced to open).

Climbing Twin Peaks in San Francisco just as the sun sets, the wind blows fiercely from the mountain, the sky is vast, and from a bird's eye view, the surroundings are truly breathtaking: the clouds and mists linger like a fairyland on earth, the misty rain and ethereal rain like a paradise on earth. Oh, beautiful! San Francisco [Yeah]

The highest point in the city, a great location overlooking San Francisco!

Twin Peaks Night View

Recommended U.S. Night View No. 1

The clouds flicker, the breeze is gentle, the lights of thousands of houses are lit, and the melodious light music makes me indulge in this night.

Twin Peaks, two hills approximately 270 meters above sea level, are the only remaining natural hills in San Francisco. Climbing Twin Peaks is a daunting endeavor, requiring ample clothing to withstand the strong wind and cold fog, while also scrambling up the steep slope. However, on clear days, you can overlook the entire city of San Francisco and even see the crimson Golden Gate Bridge overlooking San Francisco Bay. It's also a great place to enjoy the night view.

Tourists may not come to this place often, but it is worth visiting if you have enough time.

Twin Peaks is the highest point in San Francisco. Watching the sunset fade away step by step from Twin Peaks is a rare experience.

We would like to remind everyone that there are frequent car smashing incidents in Twin Peaks, so please do not leave anything in your car, even an empty mineral water bottle.

When we arrived, we saw a lot of broken glass, which scared us so much that we kept guarding the car.

I saw the night view of Twin Peaks, it was stunning. There were so many couples. I was fed tons of dog food for no reason...

But it was really too cold, so we retreated after sitting for a while.

You can drive up to Twin Peaks and park wherever there's free parking. From the top, you can take in the stunning views. You'll see many buildings built right up against the hillside, which is one reason why San Francisco has so many hills and slopes. I guess the gold mining has stripped away the hills.

From here you can overlook the panoramic view of San Francisco and see the long coastline of San Francisco Bay. It is a truly livable city, nestled between mountains and the sea.

In the afternoon, from the seaside, you can see the white fog slowly rising on the top of the mountain and slowly extending downwards.

I took an Uber up the mountain at night. The fog was so thick that it turned into water droplets when it stuck to my body and the car. It was so cold and wet.

The Uber driver was very familiar with Twin Peaks and found two viewing points. There were coin-operated binoculars on the roadside, but the fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything at the top of the mountain. I took some satisfactory photos halfway up the mountain.

It is a small hill on the edge of San Francisco city. You can overlook the entire city from it. It is worth going up to take a look.

It's best to go early in the morning to avoid crowds. Later in the day, the area starts to get crowded. Once you arrive, you can park directly on the street, wherever there's a spot available. There's no charge. Twin Peaks offers a panoramic view of San Francisco. The weather was beautiful the day we visited, and we even saw the famous Golden Gate Bridge. I've heard that every city has a spot where you can see the world from a distance, and San Francisco's is undoubtedly Twin Peaks.

It was an unexpected trip, but it was worth it. You can get a bird's-eye view of San Francisco from the top. You could see Berkeley, but unfortunately, I didn't. You can actually see the Golden Gate from a distance. It was quite crowded up there, and the wind was strong.

The weather was amazing (I discovered that almost every day in the United States was filled with blue skies and white clouds). It was beautiful overlooking the entire San Francisco city from Twin Peaks.

On the morning of May 15th, I took an UBER up the mountain. There were a few tourists there. The scenery was beautiful, overlooking San Francisco and the Bay Area, and I could see the Golden Gate Bridge.

Twin Peaks is the highest mountain in San Francisco, offering a panoramic view of the city. It was a shame not to be able to enjoy the sunset and night view. The strong wind up there made my face look crooked, so remember to bring a jacket if you go.

It seems like every city I visit these days has me visiting a high point for panoramic views. Since San Francisco is relatively small, I wasn't expecting much from Twin Peaks. But I was still blown away. It was the expansive view, the feeling of being up there and looking far, the fresh air, and the ocean breeze that washed over the city and up to the top.

Overlooking San Francisco, the mountains, sea and city blend together perfectly.

We drove up to Twin Peaks, a commanding height in San Francisco, from which we could see the entire city.

In the distant urban area, there are densely packed high-rise buildings, and many of them are under construction.

The weather today is a bit foggy and not very clear.

The sun has set and the entire mountain is bathed in warm yellow sunlight.

We went down the mountain to have a meal, and then drove up the mountain to see the night view in the evening. It was windy and very cold.

Drive up, it's best to go at night and overlook San Francisco

I also have a mysterious love for the city skyline. The most famous thing about San Francisco is undoubtedly the Twin Peaks, but I think it is more suitable to see the night view at night. During the day, I recommend going to Coit Tower, where you can see San Francisco from a 360-degree angle!

We took an Uber to Twin Peaks, so make sure you dress warmly! San Francisco's wind is truly undeniable. From the "shade here, come here!" chants in LA to the "sunny here, come here!" chants in San Francisco, I nearly had my ears blown off while waiting for the Uber to pick me up at Twin Peaks. 😂 The scenery is stunning, and once the sun comes out, the entire city is visible. A tandem jump with my bestie (or bestie if you don't have a boyfriend) at Twin Peaks is a real treat! 😁 It's definitely worth it.

From the top of the mountain, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire city of San Francisco. Although the sky is cloudy, you can still see the sea in the distance and even the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was sunset, and this prime San Francisco viewpoint was already packed. After parking, there were actually two small hills to climb, hence the name Twin Peaks. Two or three police cars were patrolling the area, clearly a crime-prone area, so everyone was advised to take care of their belongings.

The view from Twin Peaks is breathtaking, sweeping across the vast expanse of San Francisco. Large clusters of single-story buildings frame a main road leading to the heart of the city. The twilight glow bathes the skyscrapers, creating a scene reminiscent of a city in the clouds, a splendid spectacle of splendor and beauty. San Francisco's sunset glow is equally captivating, layer upon layer of gentle hues blanketing the sky, like a mother's hand soothing the city to sleep. Twin Peaks' most captivating feature is its expansive, 360-degree panoramic view of San Francisco, making it a prime vantage point for both sunrise and sunset.

Driving the car up the mountain, the scenery above is still very good.

On the way from the airport to the city center, you can take a look if you have time. You can overlook the whole San Francisco. It’s just that it’s very cold in the mountains, so be sure to dress warmly.

The night view is 100% recommended, especially on a full moon night. The phone can no longer contain the scenery here.

Twin Peaks (San Francisco). Everyone has that exhilarating feeling of standing high and looking down on the world, so every city has a peak from which to survey everything. Shanghai's Jinmao Tower, New York's Rockefeller Center. Unlike those two cities, San Francisco's highest point isn't a building, but Twin Peaks. Sitting on the edge of the peaks, feeling the Pacific breeze, watching the fog gradually cover the city and then dissipate, I feel like I could immerse myself in this atmosphere for an eternity, until I've become a sculpture.

It was really windy up there, so I was lucky enough to have a Columbia jacket, which came in handy. The scenery was amazing, though, and the panoramic view of San Francisco was stunning.

Twin Peaks, the only remaining natural hills in San Francisco, stands approximately 270 meters above sea level and is renowned for its 360-degree panoramic views. The summit is a blanket of earth, rocky and unprotected, with no shelter and strong winds that can be difficult to stand on. I counted the steps as I climbed: 114 on the North Peak and 122 on the South Peak. None of the trails on Twin Peaks have handrails, making the climb quite strenuous. The views from the North Peak are even better than those from the South Peak. Drivers can drive to the parking lot between the two peaks, where everyone begins the climb. Those arriving by bus have to climb 99 more steps than those arriving by car. Despite this, the visitors who reach the summit are excited, beaming and snapping photos. The laughter and joy on the small summit are truly contagious!

The circular mountain road is the way up the mountain, with 90-degree turns everywhere. The view of San Francisco is breathtaking, and it's really beautiful. It's also really windy and cold, so if you come here, remember to wear more clothes.

If you are traveling with children, I suggest going during the day. The wind is extremely strong there, and there are no street lights. There are no railings going up the mountain, and it feels like you will be blown down at any time. It’s okay to take a few pictures, and it won’t waste time visiting the attractions.

The winding mountain road made me think I'd taken the wrong path. There were no sidewalks, and the ones I did have were bike lanes. No one was walking, and only the occasional car passed by. Walking alone was a bit nerve-wracking, especially since I have a terrible sense of direction, and I still got lost.

Just when I was about to give up, I saw two small hills, which made me feel relieved. The hills were not as big as I had imagined. From the top, I could see a panoramic view of San Francisco. I thought it would be beautiful to watch the sunset or the night view in the middle of the night. However, you must drive up, otherwise it might not be safe.

The night view of San Francisco is very beautiful. Please be careful to wear warm clothes when going up the mountain at night. You can use a telescope to see the distant view with coins, but it is not clear enough.

Parking is free and the scenery is great. It was cloudy when we went there, and it was already beautiful. If we came when the weather was good, it would definitely be more beautiful!

Climbing Twin Peaks to overlook the panoramic view of San Francisco is very spectacular. However, it was still very sunny in the afternoon.

It's a short drive to the top of the mountain where you can see a panoramic view of San Francisco.

Twin Peaks is the only natural hill preserved in San Francisco. It is two peaks facing each other from north to south. The tour bus drives directly to Twin Peaks, where you can overlook the entire city of San Francisco.

Then we went to Twin Peaks, which is not far away. It is the best choice to see the night view of San Francisco. It is amazing.

My friends kept telling me to wear warm clothes when going to Twin Peaks at night. We went there at noon after leaving San Francisco, and it was quite warm under the direct sunlight.

This is the best place to take panoramic photos of San Francisco. Due to its high terrain, Twin Peaks was not developed until 1920. It is also the only natural hill preserved in San Francisco. It also offers the best view of the Bay Area and is the best place to watch the night view.

It was very windy and a bit cold on the mountain. You could see the city view, but the view during the day was not as beautiful as at night.

There are no service facilities, just two bare hills. It is also called Twin Breasts Hill. From the top of the hill you can see the city view of San Francisco.

San Francisco's Twin Peaks are two interconnected hills, the only two remaining natural hills in San Francisco. Their shape earned them the nickname "Indian Maiden's Breasts" by early Spanish settlers. From Twin Peaks, you can overlook the entire northern part of San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, and Oakland.

It's a beautiful day today, unlike the blustery night before. Standing on the Twin Peaks observation deck, basking in the sun, it feels exceptionally warm. With excellent visibility, I can take in the entirety of northern San Francisco, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Strait in the distance, and Oakland to the east. San Francisco's CBD (Central Business District) is particularly striking, radiating the magic of an American city.

Twin Peaks, from the top of the mountain you can see the whole view of San Francisco. It seems that except for a small number of high-rise buildings in the city center, the rest are bungalows.

Twin Peaks is a mountain range about 270 meters above sea level. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire San Francisco city, the Pacific Ocean to the west, Oakland in the East Bay to the east, Mount Tamalpais in Marin County to the north, and the five bridges connecting the cities in the Bay Area.

Twin Peaks is a great place to see the night view of San Francisco. Since it's a night view, you definitely have to climb it at night. Near the base of the mountain, the streetlights disappear, and the road becomes quite winding. There's a parking area at the observation deck, but it's quite small and can be a bit congested. The entire drive up isn't very long, but since there are no streetlights, you still need to be careful. The night view from the top is stunning!

A great place to view downtown San Francisco, but parking is a problem during peak hours. It's very windy up there, so it's recommended to bring an extra jacket.

It is a great place to enjoy the panoramic view of San Francisco. The mountain road feels a bit steep, which is a test for both the car and driving skills.

Twin Peaks is the highest point in San Francisco. You can drive up to it without much difficulty. You can overlook the entire city of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, etc. It is also a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Drive up the mountain, the scenery is beautiful, but it is cold on the mountain, so remember to wear more clothes

We were on a tour group and arrived at Twin Peaks around 10am. Unfortunately, we came at the wrong time as there was heavy fog in the early morning. Twin Peaks were shrouded in mist and clouds, and it was impossible to make out a few dozen meters above, not to mention the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Overlooking the entire city of San Francisco, but there is no toilet here, it is recommended to be prepared before going up~

The view is great, parking is free, and you can enjoy a panoramic view of San Francisco.

If you want to leave a wonderful memory in San Francisco, you can't miss watching the sunset from Twin Peaks. The sky was beautiful, clear and cloudy. I witnessed the entire process of the sun setting. Every minute was a new picture, as gorgeous as summer flowers, and the beauty was breathtaking. . .

Following the sunset, we drove up the mountain to Twin Peaks, San Francisco's highest point. These two hills, approximately 270 meters above sea level, were nicknamed "Indian Maiden's Breasts" by early Spanish settlers due to their shape. They are also the only remaining natural hills in San Francisco and are renowned for their 360-degree panoramic views. From the summit, you can overlook the entire city, with the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the distance at night. The lights are bright and the traffic is flowing.



The winds on the mountaintop were strong, and we suddenly plunged into the depths of winter. Mark Twain's quip suddenly flashed through my mind: "The coldest winter I ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco." So remember to bring warm clothes and a tripod for night photography.



The day was incredibly packed. The reason I'm being so self-deprecating is that good times are limited. Our long-awaited trip with our best friends is coming to an end. The next morning, my sisters will return to "Seattle on Lake Washington" to resume their work. These two short days of companionship have filled the void left by three years of not being able to see each other. We walked hand in hand through the Palace of Fine Arts, Fool's Wharf, and through parallel universes where we'd never been together. It felt as if I were transported back to a certain afternoon after school, us in our school uniforms, youthful and carefree, chatting and laughing.

Twin Peaks isn't very high, but you can see the whole of San Francisco from there. The most distinctive features are the Golden Gate Bridge and the colorful rooftops.

Climbing Twin Peaks, you can overlook the entire city and see the Golden Gate Bridge.

Twin Peaks, two hills approximately 270 meters above sea level, are the only remaining natural hills in San Francisco. Climbing Twin Peaks is a daunting endeavor, requiring ample layers of clothing to withstand the strong wind and cold fog, while also slogging through the steep slopes. However, on clear days, you can overlook the entire San Francisco cityscape and even see the crimson Golden Gate Bridge overlooking San Francisco Bay. It's also a great spot for nighttime viewing!

The weather was fantastic that day, with blue skies and white clouds. Driving is recommended, as there are several parking areas, but be careful not to leave items in your car to avoid vandalism. Twin Peaks offers a stunning panoramic view of San Francisco! It's also not far from nearby Golden Gate Park, so plan a visit together.

The best place to enjoy the panoramic view of San Francisco. San Francisco at night is very charming.

It really looks like a girl's breasts overlooking the entire Sanfan

After dinner, we drove up to see the night view. It was super beautiful! The whole night view of SF is in full view! It is definitely worth a visit.

A friend drove us there, and we got to see the entire city from the top of San Francisco. San Francisco at night was so beautiful, all lit up, and the two main arteries of downtown were clearly visible. If I could, I would definitely stay. He even excitedly exclaimed, "Golden Gate Bridge!!!" when he saw the Golden Gate Bridge.

I live near Twin Peaks. I found a house on Airbnb. The environment is great, and there's a small garage for parking. The view is great when you drive up.

It is a small hill where you can enjoy the beautiful view of San Francisco.

I thought the most beautiful moment was when I reached the top of the mountain, but I didn’t expect that I could see the sunset and the scenery in front of me so beautifully during the driving journey. I really enjoyed the process.

The only spot overlooking the entire San Francisco city from one direction. On a clear day, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge on the left, the CBD skyscrapers in the center and slightly to the left, the coastline in the distance, and the Castro District with a rainbow flag flying on the right. The name Twin Peaks comes from a simple fact: this observation deck is located between two small peaks. Also, a friend on WeChat reminded me that this is also the filming location for the movie "Planet of the Apes."

There are a few things you need to pay attention to when going up to Twin Peaks for the view. First, the mountain road is not easy to drive, especially the last 180-degree turn, so try to drive slowly on the way up the mountain. Second, the wind on the mountain is really strong. If it is sunny during the day, it may be okay. On rainy days or at night, you must bring warm clothes. Third, there are some free parking spaces next to the observation deck, but there are not many, so try to park in a civilized and compact manner. There are no toilets or restaurants near the observation deck, so you must solve the problem of food and clothing and urgency in advance before going up. Fourth, because San Francisco is adjacent to the sea, the wind is relatively humid before going up the mountain. If it is not very clear, there may be heavy fog on the mountain. The second time I went up the mountain, I wanted to take some night views, but I encountered heavy fog and could not take any pictures.

It's a great place to overlook San Francisco. Be sure to dress warmly as it's very windy up there. If you're driving, just head up the mountain; there's free parking.
